[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2689842, member: 401801"] You need to check for ketones, which you can do yourself through either urine test or finger prick, if you have a meter that can handle those strips. If you're not on a ketogenic diet and eating regularly, rather than fasting they shouldn't be present. High ketones and high blood sugars combined are a problem and an emergency situation. The blood tests you want for type are are, I think, C-peptide, GAD and [I]possibly[/I] Homa-R, though I might be missing one? (Anyone feel free to add!). The GP won't be able to order Homa-R most likely, that's a specialist's area. Not sure on the other two, and sometimes they can't interpret the results. Don't let this go. If you're ill, and it does sound like that's not going away, do call 111! [/QUOTE]
